Ji Ying was speechless. These people were crazy.

However, this also confirmed one thing. Zhao Weili was very popular, especially with countless unmarried women waiting to marry him!

However, she was not among these women!

“Hmph, you think he’s honey, but I think he’s poison! Plus, that fellow actually has an engagement partner already. In that case, the other party wouldn’t pester me anymore, right?”

Suddenly, she remembered how busy the house had been when she returned. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly changed her clothes and walked out of the room.

“Your sister is getting engaged today. Change into something more presentable. Don’t embarrass the Ji family!”

Jiang Hong instructed with a smug expression.

Ji Ying was stunned. At the same time, she had a bad feeling.

“Engaged? Why didn’t I know that? Engaged to whom? Isn’t that a bit rushed?”

“What do you know? It’s not your place to worry about such things. Just be prepared to be a pretty face. Don’t cause me any trouble, or I won’t forgive you!”

Ten minutes later, Ji Ying changed into a low-key blue evening gown and went to Jiang Ningxin’s room.

Jiang Ningxin was considered a cold beauty. Her style was tough and fierce, and she had many suitors.

As soon as Ji Ying entered, Jiang Ningxin saw her attire and frowned. She said unhappily, “Are you wearing such shabby clothes to my engagement party?”

“Be grateful! I’m lucky to have such an evening gown!”

“You mean you think Father is biased?”

“I didn’t say that. Of course, I’m fine with you thinking that!”

Even as Ji Ying spoke, she was thinking, ‘That’s the truth!’

Jiang Ningxin’s gaze landed on Ji Ying’s neck and chest, and a cold smile appeared on her face.

“Hmph!”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Father doesn’t buy you a gown, and you come to my wedding with a body full of hickeys to show that you’re more desirable to men than I am, huh?”

Ji Ying’s heart skipped a beat as she turned to the mirror.

There were several hickeys on her neck and above her chest that had yet to dissipate.

Ji Ying blushed slightly.

Jiang Ningxin sneered. “Don’t tell me you did this with Lin Yongjie!”

“You’re getting married today and now you’re here gossiping about my private life. Do you think your wedding plans are going too well and you’ve got nothing to do?”

Jiang Ningxin felt terrible at these words.

Yet, the more Ji Ying remained silent, the more curious she became.

“Who exactly were you with last night?”

Ji Ying snorted. “This has nothing to do with you, and there’s no need for me to tell you!”

“Lin Yongjie came to look for you last night and waited until midnight. It couldn’t have been him.” At this moment, Jiang Ningxin seemed to have been possessed by a great detective. She deduced with certainty, “Ji Ying, you cheated on him!”

Ji Ying felt her blood start to boil.

Lin Yongjie, the bastard, was the one who had cheated on her. She had found used condoms in his apartment, along with the scent left behind by the heat of passion. She knew what had happened without asking.

The other party refused to admit it, but the truth was right in front of her.

After the argument, she asked to break up without hesitation.

After that, because she was depressed and, in a daze, she slept with someone by mistake.

No matter what, she had already completely cut ties with Lin Yongjie. There was no moral quandary.

However, this matter was very vexing no matter how she thought about it. Now that it was brought up, it made her mood even worse.

Jiang Ningxin had been observing Ji Ying’s expression and reactions. At this moment, she confirmed her guess and sneered in her heart.

“I guess I was right!”

Ji Ying responded coldly.

“Miss, Master said that his future son-in-law’s men will be here soon. He told you to dress up quickly and not miss the auspicious time!”

Now, Jiang Ningxin was no longer in the mood to pay attention to Ji Ying.

Ji Ying took the opportunity to leave and return to her room to deal with the hickeys.

If she went to the wedding with all these hickeys as a bridesmaid, she would really become a joke.

Ji Ying walked out of her room about ten minutes later.

Not far down the corridor came a young man in a suit and glasses.

“Miss Ji!”

“You are…”

The man stopped at a safe distance and bowed slightly. “Hello, Miss Ji. I’m Mr. Zhao’s secretary, Yang Ping. He asked me to tell you that no matter where you run off to, you have to take responsibility! Moreover, you have to come to the engagement venue today!”

Ji Ying was shocked when she heard those words. Her eyes widened.
